Card Album for 1915 Cracker Jack (E145-2)
The 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack sets were released during the years of the Federal League's brief
existence, and so feature many players from teams in those leagues, incuding major stars such as
Mordecai Brown, Joe Tinker and Eddie Plank (in the 1915 set). The 1914 set consists of 144 players,
while the 1915 set expanded the size to 176 players. Most of the cards from the 1914 set were
reproduced for the 1915 set, although a few inactive players were removed and some players were
listed with different teams or shown with different poses. The 1915 set was available
through a mail-in offer as a complete set, and it was printed on a thicker card stock than the 1914
release. As a result, it is much easier to find in high quality condition today than the 1914 version.
The images here are scans from a reproduction set of the 1915 version. There were 15 players in the 1914
set listed with St. Louis teams. In 1915, that number jumped up to 20, with one additional player (Jimmy
Austin) shown in his Browns uniform from the 1914 set, but now listed with the Pittsburgh Federals club.
